Call them lone wolf, terrorist, mentally ill or depressed ..call you may anything that glorify the beholder of a soul sucking machine intentionally.

None will justify this horrendous act of evil and the NRA who reaps money by sucking the soul out of our beloved stars.

They say psychopaths can use anything to create terror. Guns are just victims. But why…why knowingly equip a murderer with the most horrific weapon of all and amplify the horrible outcome.

Cassandraa is the beautiful daughter of King Priam, cursed by Apollo, because he couldn’t handle rejection. Cassandra could forever carry the gift of prophecy, but no one would ever believe her divinatory words. (She eventually went mad under the burden of her curse)

She predicted the fall of Troy by means of the damned wooden horse. But she was an ‘Unheeded prophetess of doom’.

Let’s take a look into few modern day disastrous events and their Cassandras.

What if I told that, the rise of ISIS in Syria, the hurricane Katrina and the Fukushima reactor disaster were all predicted and preventable events? Yes, they were!

Cassandra 1: Robert Stephen Ford – Rise of ISIS

He is a retired US diplomat and the Ambassador to Syria in 2011 until he resigned in 2014.

Ford is an expert on Middle East politics and is often referred as “one of the best Arabists in the state department”. He can communicate in Arabic fluently with most local dialects.

He had explicitly warned the Obama administration of the presence of ‘vacuum’ in the Syrian uprising against Basshar Al Assad. He went to the extent of predicting that this vacuum could give way to creation of a new Terrorist group unlike any before and could eventually take huge portions of Syria and also spread to Shi’itee strongholds of Iraq. He urged the administration to immediately train and arm the less lethal uprising against Basshar Al Assad before it’s too late to control.

But the Obama administration chose to take no action until it was too late to take control. By the time the administration realized the warnings, ISIS was way too powerful.

Cassandra 2 : Dr. Ivor Van Heerden – Hurricane Katrina

“By midnight on Monday the White House knew. Monday night I was at the state Emergency Operations Center and nobody was aware that the Leeves had breached. Nobody.”

He warned the administration again and again that a Category 4 or 5 hurricane can potentially breach the Leeves dam way before the Katrina hit New Orleans.

But he was ignored for political reasons and thousands lost their lives due to negligence.

Dr. Van Heerden, the man who was right was fired for warning the administration for not taking precaution.

Cassandra 3 : Dale Bridenbaugh – Fukushima Reactors

Dale Bridenbaugh helped asses the reactors back in 1975 and his findings portrayed an extreme lack of confidence in the safety of the Reactors.

He predicted the danger more than 30 years prior to the Tsunami event. The location of Reactors was vulnerable to tsunami and the Mark 1 didn’t have the capability to contain the pressure of meltdown. This was a known fact since 1975!

The failings of the Reactors were so profound that three GE engineers who helped design the Mark 1 had resigned from the company.

But this was ignored and catastrophic damage that could have been avoided occurred.

(Reference sources: Warnings)

Cassandra’s predictions are ignored because it has never happened before. It’s called ‘the first occurrence syndrome’.

Hope we learn from the past and listen to these experts when they say “These are my findings. Here is my data. I would like my predictions to be wrong. Prove me wrong. Tell me my data is wrong”.

But no one proves their findings wrong yet ignored. The ‘Unheeded prophets’ of our time!

“Time, the fourth dimension of Space-time Continuum, is the single determining factor for the existence of our Universe. It all began with Time.”

I tend to think, the most powerful force of nature, ‘Time’ could be the only fitting description capable of defining the Creator or the force behind Creation.

Could Time be the Supernatural power that most of us call God?

Without the Time factor none of the three dimensions of life can exist or be defined.

Paradox 1

We are totally unaware of the fact that Time influences our thoughts, feelings and actions.

Paradox 2

Individual perseption of Time is associated with numerous outcomes or benefits. But holistically the cost is same.

Paradox 3

Even though the individual attitudes towards Time is through personal experiences, the collective attitude influences the world destiny.

(Reference: The Time Paradox)

The essence of our actions are influenced by the limited nature of Time that we perceive individually. But understanding that Time is limitless can essentially mean our individual actions have outcomes that affect the Universe as a whole. This is called the butterfly effect.

Death is only an end of our actions. But the outcomes of our actions prevail in the fabric of Time causing larger effect. – The Paradox!

https://sajiths.blog/2017/05/28/my-take-donald-j-trump-wont-be-impeached/#commentsSun, 28 May 2017 19:14:16 +0000http://sajiths.blog/2017/05/28/my-take-donald-j-trump-wont-be-impeached/
United States right now is highly polarized in political views and strongly growing to an extend where almost half the people in the country would feel betrayed if Trump is impeached.

It’s true that, the stories coming out of the White House last few weeks have weakened the enthusiasm of few Trump supporters. But nothing the media says can ever make them turn around completely.

Like Ian Bremmer rightly says, the current controversy is comparable to the Iran-Contra rather than Watergate.

If ever Trump is impeached (which is highly unlikely) the voters who elected him will feel deeply betrayed. They will treat it unfair and feel their candidate was not given a chance to prove himself.

The media relentlessly picking out the most minute details, quite often even over a tweet is only seen as an unfair treatment of their elected candidate. And that accounts for almost 40% of the country.

It would be really bad for the country’s stability if such a huge percentage of supporters are left dis hartened.

The clever thing for Democrats to do would be harness the lost support and work towards a better election in 2020.

Meanwhile, media can do their faithful job in bringing out the truth and perhaps tone down on the criticism by being more deplomatic. Let the Trump administration do the damage to themselves.

Grotesque misuse of Power is the greatest challenge we face in today’s ever more complex world.
Firstly I would like to take a moment to applaud the efforts of Washington Post and New York Times in their ongoing independent investigation into uncovering the dirty politics behind the most powerful Government in the world. (Current context of Trump administration)

In a world where Money and Power can influence any Democratic system to malfunction, media has become the Antidote.

Last few weeks have shown the world how Autocratic even the most Democratic systems can become​ when given in hands of unworthy leaders.

We live in an unprecedented time of ‘crooks’ armed with the most advanced technologies that where developed for truly innocent causes. Technology in the wrong hands are worse than a Nuclear arsenal.

Democratic system that was designed for the people and by the people now malfunctioning and in hands of powerful Autocratic people, our hope lay in the hands of the ‘Last line of Defense – Investigative Journalism.’

Past few weeks have been a testimony that at the brim of Democratic crisis and loosing sight of hope the only silver lining is some good old Journalism.

At the helm of this war we hail all those good Journalists putting their lives at risk to bring out the truth!

“The world around us is nothing but a Projection of our Perception created inside the dark corners of our Brains!”

This makes me question our existence. If our perception is altered, our brains can be tricked into interpreting a different world. Last night, I woke up from a bad dream frightened and shivering. It took me one whole minute to realize it wasn’t real.

This had me thinking. When I was dreaming falling off the cliff, my brain didn’t have the distinction between what was real and dream. I felt weightlessness and fear as I would have felt when I was awake. I could feel the earth underneath my fingertips slipping away as I let go into a freefall. I could feel the wind on my face. I could hear my heart throb. Was it all real? Yes, at that instant it was.

Was the cliff really there? Was the fear real? Did I have any physical contact with the cliff edge? Was the wind really blowing on my face?

If the answer is No. Then why did I feel it as it was real?

If the perception of touch, sound, smell, height and fear in my dream was created without physical evidence. Then could it be that our whole world as we know is just the perception of our senses without physical evidence? Are we all living a cumulative dream projected by a supernatural power that we don’t understand?

Virtual Reality in coming years can very well re create customised worlds within which we can breath, feel, smell and hear without physical evidence. In a way we are trying to understand what this unknown factor is capable. Humans being the superspecies on this planet and being the only species capable to communicate and record what we learn, could eventually discover what this supernatural power is and what our purpose here is.

Throughout the course of human history, every religion or scripture has described a Soul within ourselves that is independent off our so known physical body. Today science is on the course of discovering the equation to this unknown factor. Perhaps the end of human history as we know it will come by the scientific discovery of this unknown factor we now call the Soul.

Perhaps as humans on this planet our purpose is to discover this unknown factor and eventually understand the Supernatural power that controls our existence in this dream. And liberate ourselves from the shackles of this Virtual world to another world where we set course for another human history!

Or perhaps I may be wrong and only Time will tell!

Time – without which no other dimensions could exist!
